If you’re working as a self-employed tradie, having the right insurance is critical to protect you and your business.
As a self-employed tradie, your income depends entirely on your ability to work. Imagine being injured for six months, unable to work and not getting your regular pay. How would you meet your expenses and feed your family?
It’s important to have a backup plan to cover your expenses. When you’re self-employed, having Personal Accident & Illness Insurance is essential to protect your financial stability.
Personal Accident & Illness Insurance is a type of insurance cover that will pay you an income when you’re unwell or injured. It offers 24/7 cover, whether you’re injured at work, home, or traveling.
Unlike Workers Compensation, which pays a one-off lump sum, Personal Accident & Illness Insurance regularly pays you a percentage of your income until you are able to return to work. It covers tradespeople 24 hours a day, regardless of when the accident or sickness occurs your income can be protected.
Personal Accident and Illness Insurance covers you for the unexpected… Would you be able to survive if you couldn’t work for six months?
Taking out this cover will protect yourself and your family by ensuring you'll still have an income even if you are unable to work due to illness or accident.
There are many benefits of having Personal Accident & Illness Insurance if you’re working as a self-employed tradie. These include:
Remember, as a self-employed tradie, the most important aspect of your business to protect is yourself…
